160 acres of Private Property with a purpose built Hardenduro trail system (XCenduro Land). Closest town is Drummond Montana. Property is 5 miles (15 min) of slow off pavement driving up a dirt road. Takes approximately 1 hour from Missoula or 1 hour from Butte. Trucks and moto vans only, free camping at meeting point, no facilities. RV’s and most trailers will not make it into property. RV camping with hookups nearby as long as you can unhook and drive truck in. We may be able to help get 1-2 extra riders into property, so just ask. Spectators/friends/family all are welcome. Great photo opportunities.
Detailed Clinic Schedule
Start 9:00am: Training clinic starts with a meet and greet with Graham. After making introductions Graham will start the clinic. Because of the location of property, please make sure to allow enough time to arrive on time, and gear up to be ready to ride at 9am. Both days will be organized the same way but Aug 31st will be tailored for beginner/Intermediate riders. So this would be appropriate for b/c riders. September 1 will be tailored for a more advanced group, so more of the A riders or people who want more advanced training.
Training day expectations:
Graham Jarvis clinics usually start with simple basic fundamental drills. As the day progresses Graham takes the group through more and more advanced techniques giving one on one feedback and training. I have seen this personally more than once, as Graham learns the members of the group, he helps coach them on what they are missing. After a short lunch break Graham will take the group to various parts of the property to focus on specific hardenduro obstacles. Graham picks out various features for the group to first observe and then try while getting feedback. Plan on being on the bike most of the day, you will go home exhausted. We aim to wrap up the clinic officially at 4:30pm. Graham is more than happy to chat, answer questions, sign your number plate etc.. before we depart for the evening.
Food and Drinks:
We are keeping this clinic more basic. Meals will not be included. Everyone just needs to make sure to bring their own meals for the day. Feel free to have a cooler full of cold drinks as we will swing by the staging area where everyone will be parked more than once.
Weather:
End of August we can have days as cool as low 60’s or as hot as high 80’s. We expect it to be mid 70's in the afternoon. Because the property is at a little higher elevation, a good rule of thumb is that it will be about 7-10 degrees cooler than Drummond.
Bearmouth Extreme Race Report
May 29th 2021
30 experienced racers lined up for the first annual Bearmouth Extreme May 29th. Racers were organize at our discretion and to accommodate their preference. Two racers were released every 15-30 seconds. The short prologue proved challenging for most. The Spectators had great views as each racer made it through the first hundred yards of the course. Our course was 7.5 miles of relentless difficult riding. No one individual obstacle on the course was overly difficult, however, there were not many breaks.
Evan Ask, who ended up P1 on the podium cam through his first lap at 37 min. He averaged 4.8mph on his first lap. Keith Sweeton was next with a first lap time of 41min followed by Mason Rutledge about 1 min behind at 42min. Buck Dolan had the 4th fastest lap time at 43 min. These were all lap one. Things started to speed up just a little each lap as the course got more burned in, and the racers knew what was coming. Evans final (4th Lap) was 32.10
There were only 4 racers who completed 4 laps. 10 racers who completed 3 laps, 5 racers who completed 2 laps, and 10 racers who completed just one lap. Only one racer tapped out due to not feeling 100% We were very happy to see out course was manageable by all given enough time. And we were pleased to have no injury reported
After the race, the afternoon riders and spectators were excited to get on different sections of the course to try it out. It was very fun to see the family, friends, from 12 years old and up, out on the course, riding different sections. People also enjoyed the use of our trails, and free riding late into the evening. Excited for next year!

Our base camp is 6 miles off pavement up a well established dirt road. Getting steep and narrow in parts, four wheel drive is recommended but is not required. Moto vans do OK, just take it easy :-) No Rv's or trailers. We are fully off the grid so no electricity or water, being self reliant is important. If you want the luxuries of a proper RV camp with full hookups, we recommend staying 13.5 miles away on the Clark Fork River at Bearmouth RV Park , then just drive up in your truck.(www.bearmouthchalet.com)

About Us
Inspired by The King of Hard Enduro
XCenduro Land (named after the owners Instagram) was created by Joe Stebbins after attending a training even with the "King of Hard Enduro" Graham Jarvis. After an exhausting day training and learning an incredible amount, Joe jumped at the chance to travel to Spain for one of Graham's Signature Tours which also involves plenty of training. Learning drills to practice is one thing, but actually spending time in person, getting real time feedback, learning your mistakes and being corrected and helped through extreme terrain form Graham was simply incredible. Joe still claims he learned more in one day training, riding and being coached by Graham that from weeks of attempting to ride gnarly terrain on his own (not only from one-on-one help but from seeing in person techniques broken down set-by-step by Jarvis). So instead of traveling the world trying to learn from the best riders on the planet, the idea was foraged to put together a plan to bring the best right to our doorstep here in Montana.
Riding more Extreme Hard Enduro style trails has become more and more popular each year. What makes this style of riding so much more fun is knowing proper technique in order to conserve energy, ride efficiently, safely and more effectively. Let us handle all the details of the event, all you need to do is show up ready to learn, ride and hang with one of the best Endure riders on the planet, and go home a much improved extreme enduro rider.
Extreme Enduro Training Center is AMA Chartered Facility
What does AMA Charter mean? It is formal agreement between the AMA and our organization to uphold the AMA’s mission and standards for event operation. It lets you know we put on safe, fun, well planned and well supported events!
